TED: Finding Balance
| |
| Another TED presentation to share:
I spent four days at the annual TED Convention (March 7-10) in Monterey, CA. It was an amazing collection of people, including President Bill Clinton, venture capitalist John Doerr, producer J.J. Abrams, singer Paul Simon, Nobel prize winner Murray Gell-Mann, NBA great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and a whole slew of politicians, executives, investors, and celebrities.

To be or not to be, that is the question
| |
| Have you ever heard about Affirmations? Athletes call them visualizations, Priests call them prayers and Buddhist monks call them meditation on a topic. So, what am I saying here exactly, what has praying got to do with affirmations and visualizations?
Focused meditation, praying, visualizations, affirmations are according to my experience all part of the same concept. They are all a part of getting ready to become what you want to be or get ready to achieve what you want to achieve. However, if you don't get the energy and inspiration to get out of your couch in front of the TV and go out into the real world to MAKE IT HAPPEN - you are just wasting your time. |

Meditation Can Change Your Life
| |
| Practicing meditation is something anyone can do regardless of your religious or spiritual affiliations. My spiritual practice was provided to me by Buddhist Monks and other influences (including physicists and Shaman), but your practice can be whatever you want it to be. What counts in meditation is the act of meditating or quieting the mind. |

Worry vs. Concern
| |
| I believe that concern is worry with action. Worry in and of itself does nothing other than diminish focus. Concern has the potential to release creative solutions to the obstacle that one is facing.
I heard a story about an elderly monk who was training a number of younger monks learning to live their dedicated lives of service. One of his pupils came to him and told him that he was so weighted down with all of his worries that he could not perform his tasks. The old, wise monk said, "I have a gift for you. It was given to me by an old and wise monk when I was your age. This gift has allowed me a life of grace, peace, and focus."
